If my work permit was issued in Phuket, will I be able to do all immigration-related things in Bangkok (such as 90 day reporting, extensions, etc.)? For my arrival card, I wrote in a Bangkok address

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can handle immigration-related tasks such as 90-day reporting and extensions in Bangkok, even if your work permit was issued in Phuket. The key factor is your registered address for immigration matters, not necessarily where your work permit was issued.

Work permits aren't technically visa advice, and is slightly outside of the scope of this group. Before everyone posts their work permit, and where they are allowed to work, I'm closing comments.

Angela Chang, if you have further questions, message one of the mods and we'll reopen the post

You can do in Bkk , mine issued in Phuket as well.

And where is your address registered?

You do the Immigration things at the Immigration Office where your address is registered.

What you wrote on the arrival card is not important as that information is due to time limits not used or stored in any database

I'm not working in Phuket. Just the work permit was issued there.
